The Kansas City Chiefs are settling in with their new players and finalized 53-man roster, preparing to defend their Super Bowl title.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke with reporters via Zoom on Friday, providing an update on Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown’s availability before next Thursday’s season opener vs. the Baltimore Ravens.

“I don’t think you’ll have Hollywood this week,” said Reid. “Hollywood won’t be back this week, and we’ll just see how it goes, but the kid’s amazing. His progress has been incredible, but I wouldn’t predict him being there this week.”

Brown left the opening preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to the injury. The confirmed sternoclavicular joint dislocation has no official timetable, but the coaching staff says he’s improving. Reid compared the injury to that of former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill in 2019.

In response to a potential injury, the Chiefs kept a significant number of receivers on the 53-man roster and practice squad. Once Brown is healthy enough to return to the field, he figures to be the team’s top receiver on the depth chart.

Chiefs vs. Lions: Xavier Worthy scores first NFL touchdown in Arrowhead debut

Xavier Worthy scored his first NFL touchdown during the #Chiefs’ preseason home-opener against the #Lions on Saturday afternoon.

The Kansas City Chiefs wasted no time finding the endzone on Saturday in their second preseason outing against the Detroit Lions.

The team worked hard in the offseason to revamp a struggling offense with the additions of wide receivers Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown and Xavier Worthy, adding speed to a team that needed a real deep threat. With Brown sidelined after an injury, Worthy has become a new favorite for quarterback Patrick Mahomes during the preseason.

Watch this video of wide receiver Xavier Worth splitting the Lions’ defense for his first NFL touchdown in the team’s Week 2 preseason game:

When the Chiefs drafted Worhy in the first round, the former Longhorn was expected to see plenty of meaningful snaps and compete for catches with sophomore wide receiver Rashee Rice.

Worthy will quickly become one of Mahomes’ top weapons if he can continue using his speed to evade defenders and find the endzone.

Chiefs Patrick Mahomes on ‘Hollywood’ Brown’s injury: ‘We’re getting him back sooner rather than later’

As training camp ends, the Kansas City Chiefs are almost ready to start their title defense officially. However, the quest for a three-peat will be off to a slightly concerning start as the team continues to deal with injuries to vital players.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes addressed the media on Thursday for the final time this year at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph. He commented on playing without veteran receiver ‘Hollywood’ Brown for the next few weeks due to his injury.

“I guess we’re lucky that it wasn’t as bad as it could have been, we lose a little bit of that veteran-type receiver in that room,” said Mahomes. “We have other guys that can replace him a little bit, but to have that much talent and a good understanding of what I want, he’s in the room. I think that’s what’s awesome. He’s talking to those guys and everything like that. So hopefully, we’re getting him back sooner rather than later.”

Mahomes will focus on the many receivers available this weekend and more until Brown returns to the field.

Chiefs Connor Embree describes his message to wide receivers to avoid dropped passes

The Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl last season with complications on offense, especially with a disappointing performance from their wideouts.

Chiefs wide receivers coach Connor Embree addressed the media on Wednesday, discussing the league-leading dropped passes from last season and his plan to correct them.

“I just kind of mind tap them every day, just to focus. I tell them, if you guys just focus, look the ball all the way in. You’re in the NFL for a reason.” said Embree. “So I thought most of the drops from last year were focus drops where, you know, they had their hands on the ball. It was maybe they’re turning their head away to, you know, make a play with the ball in their hands. So really, just focusing on that, catch it, look it all the way into the tuck, and then become a ball carrier.”

The Chiefs added to their receivers’ room in the offseason to avoid the pitfalls they faced in 2023. The injury to ‘Hollywood’ Brown and ongoing uncertainty regarding Rashee Rice’s status will cause younger stars to prove themselves immediately in the system.

‘Hollywood’ Brown leaves Chiefs debut with shoulder injury

Chiefs WR Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown was injured during Kansas City’s preseason matchup against the Jaguars on Saturday night.

The Kansas City Chiefs may be without wide receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown against the Jacksonville Jaguars after he sustained a shoulder injury in the first quarter of Saturday night’s matchup of AFC hopefuls.

Brown, who joined the Chiefs as a key free agent addition in the 2024 offseason, is expected to be a major contributor to Andy Reid’s offense during his first season in Kansas City and has looked like a star during training camp in St. Joseph.

Though the extent of his injury on Saturday night wasn’t announced by the Chiefs, the team gave fans an update on Brown’s status, listing him as questionable to return.

Kansas City’s starters were only expected to play during the first frame of this matchup, so it seems likely that Brown will remain on the sideline for the remainder of the game, even if he feels well enough to play.

Stay tuned to see if his status changes before the fourth-quarter whistle.

Could Chiefs be suitors for CeeDee Lamb in blockbuster trade scenario?

Recent comments from #Cowboys owner Jerry Jones sparked speculation on Twitter about whether the #Chiefs might want to trade for CeeDee Lamb.

The Kansas City Chiefs made major investments in their receiving corps over the last few months and might have an opportunity to bring in yet another talented pass catcher in the near future.

On Thursday, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones stated that he doesn’t have “any urgency” to extend wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, sparking debate online about whether Brett Veach should step in to trade for the star pass-catcher.

Lamb, who was teammates with Chiefs wideout Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown at the University of Oklahoma, could be an explosive addition to Kansas City’s offense, but a deal for him could come at an astronomical cost.

Check out this potential trade scenario that was posted by FanDuel on Twitter, which would see the Chiefs send second-year receiver Rashee Rice and two first-round picks to Dallas in exchange for Lamb:

Players of Lamb’s caliber rarely become available on the trade market, and while it may seem impractical for Kansas City to move on him ahead of the regular season, Jones’ comments on the receiver’s future may open the door for a deal to be made.

WATCH: Speedy WR makes leaping catch at Chiefs training camp

Take a look at Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown’s latest highlight-reel play from #Chiefs training camp.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed veteran wide receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown during the 2024 offseason to bolster their struggling receiving corps.

Brown is not expected to eclipse second-year receiver Rashee Rice on Kansas City’s depth chart, but the team hopes the former first-round pick will be able to compete for targets from Patrick Mahomes on Sundays.

At Chiefs training camp practice on Friday, Brown showed off his exceptional speed and jumping ability while hauling in a pretty throw from Mahomes during passing drills.

Take a look at this video of Brown’s spectacular leaping catch, which was posted to Twitter by user @EddieHigh:

Brown has been one of the most impressive players on the field at Missouri Western State University, and the chemistry he is building with Mahomes in St. Joseph will surely benefit the defending champions during the regular season.

Keep your eye on Brown during the Chiefs’ preparations for their first preseason matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars on August 10.

WATCH: Chiefs WR makes diving catch at training camp practice

Check out this diving catch from #Chiefs training camp that got fans excited in St. Joseph during Kansas City’s practice session on Thursday.

The Kansas City Chiefs will rely on their new-look receiving corps to create explosive plays in Andy Reid’s offense this season after a disappointing showing from the team’s pass-catchers in 2023.

Though the addition of rookie Xavier Worthy headlined the Chiefs’ effort to rebuild its air attack around Patrick Mahomes in the offseason, it was veteran Marquise “Hollywood” Brown who impressed fans during a recent practice session.

When he was targeted by Mahomes during passing drills on Thursday, Brown made a slick adjustment to come down with a diving catch against defensive back Jaden Hicks, which earned some cheers from the crowd in attendance.

Take a look at this video of the play below, which was posted to Twitter by user @EddieHigh:

Brown is no stranger to the spotlight and has made big plays throughout his professional career during stints with the Baltimore Ravens and Arizona Cardinals.

Expect him to continue showing off his pass-catching prowess during training camp ahead of his regular season debut in Kansas City.

Chiefs WR Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown to partner with Q39

According to a report, Chiefs WR Marquise “Hollywood” Brown will partner with Kansas City barbecue joint Q39 to create a new sandwich

Though Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown has only been in Western Missouri for a few months, he has wasted no time getting acquainted with the region’s burgeoning barbecue scene.

According to a report by Aaron Ladd of KSHB 41 in Kansas City, Brown is set to partner with local barbecue restaurant Q39 on a “Hollywood” rib sandwich that will leave mouths watering on both sides of State Line Road.

While Ladd’s announcement didn’t mention when the sandwich would begin being served at Q39,  it was said that it would feature pork ribeye, onions, pickles, and potato straws on a hoagie bun.

Brown is expected to play a major role in the Chiefs’ offense this season and sales of his sandwich could soar if he puts on a show during his first few games at Arrowhead Stadium.

Expect more collaborations between Brown and local businesses as his career in Kansas City progresses.
